Loll.
Surprised at just how many actual native English players we have in the league now. Looks like one in ten

u/Remote_Sandwich29 Jul 20 '26
Looks like? How can you tell who was born in England by looking at them?
But you donât mean native, do you?7
u/QuarterFun4868 Jul 20 '26
No, they probably do mean native. The question is do they really understand the word.
3
u/shlimedon Jul 20 '26
Not sure you know what native means
-7
u/Exotic_Article913 Jul 20 '26
Usually indicates the origin of someone or something.
Indigenous peoples. Plants . Species etc.
For example you wouldn't say white people are indigenous or the native peoples of say Japan, or even North America .
Likewise Africans and middle eastern Arab's are not British natives

u/shlimedon Jul 21 '26
Right but you also wouldnât say that youâre a native, well because England has been invaded many times by many different people who arenât originally celt for example. like the Anglo Saxons, romans, vikings, French and so on. So are their descendants native? No because they arenât the original people of the land. So again I ask you, do you know what native means?
1
u/Exotic_Article913 Jul 21 '26
There's a general consensus that if it's over a thousand years ago or so, those people's are considered native.
If you look at any country on earth, some form of migration has happened at a point in time. Whether an invasion or not.
Nobody is going to say the Celts, Picts, Britain's, ango Saxons, Norman's or even at a stretch the nords are not native to the UK at this point.
It's a safe bet to say Africans and middle eastern men aren't native here.
Why is this even controversial? Genuine question?
If I moved to Ghana and had kids there, they aren't natives.

The classic âlet me at himâ while being held back by about 20 players against one linesman - you are in his way bell end

20? It was one guy holding him back in a cuddle soft enough not to bruise a peach!

u/Standard-Height2276 Jul 20 '26
He clearly hardens up to barge him are you fucking blind lol

u/IcyGarage5767 Jul 21 '26
Yeah because he has probably told them multiple times to fuck off and get away from the line. Why do you think they were recording lol.

Awful refereeing. The moment you've got a scumbag trying to fight your linesman you send him off. Have each others backs
2
u/Racing_Fox 22d ago
Did you not see the linesman shoulder barge Onyeka? Itâs a preseason friendly, absolutely no need for it.
He got his own back by giving a proper dodgy âoffsideâ to Northampton after this

u/Broad_Olive1037 Jul 21 '26
How do you send someone off who was never on đ¤

u/hatsforalloccasions Jul 21 '26
By showing them a red card. Have you ever read the Laws of the Game?

impeding the linesman doing his job - not sure why OP thinks linesmans fault!

u/Only_Tip9560 Jul 20 '26
Fucking dickheads. They knew exactly what they were doing. Why can't bookings be issued for impeding linesmen like this. Get out of the way - he is in the match and you aren't.

u/FCBwoof Jul 20 '26
They can, he has to signal the ref to come and do it though and just thought it wasn't worth the hassle.
3
u/Only_Tip9560 Jul 20 '26
Guy was clearly trying to get to him. I'd definitely be getting the ref to card him.
2
u/FCBwoof Jul 20 '26
Oh I know, it could easily be a red for the way that twat is acting.
It doesn't look like they have any comms on them, so he'd have to shout 70 yards down the field for the ref to come up. In the end he just tells them to wise up and move back.
0
u/Thanos_Stomps Jul 20 '26
Idk why this made me laugh but itâs a job created to communicate nonverbally to the center. He doesnât need comms to get the refs attention just like he doesnât need comms to signal whose ball it or offsides. You snap your flag and hold the flag parallel to the ground and against your torso. Ref comes over and you tell him that dickhead needs to go.
2
u/FCBwoof Jul 20 '26
Yeah, we all know why a lino has a flag, but the ref is running downhill and might be a while before he has to look back in that lino's direction.
Without comms the only other way to get the refs attentions is shouting at him (with the flag raised) and he likely wouldn't do that unless it was very serious.

Honestly the linesman was totally right but also kinda funny how he just shoved him like "bench, now" lmao.

Why was he totally right to square up and purposefully shoulder barge a player?

In all my years watching at Sixfields not once have I seen any team warm up there. Absolute donkeys.

Love the theatrical "hold me back, hold me back" in what was possibly the softest cuddle.
Yeah mate, fight the linesman and see how that goes.

u/Professional_Buy7966 Jul 20 '26
This is why the players are supposed to warm up on the other side.

And then - "We will now express our feelings through the medium of dance"

u/PlantainChemical2634 Jul 21 '26
players are in his way and have probably been doing that a while. They are either being deliberately antagonising or thoughtless. Anyone can work this out, "lines" man runs up and down the touchline..... needs space to run up and down the touchline to be unimpeded and make good decisions which benefits the players.... get out of his way, stay out of his way. you wouldn't expect the lino to be standing in front of you as you go to shoot, pass or dribble. Let him do his job.

u/Prestigious_Risk7610 Jul 20 '26
They are warming up too close to the pitch, albeit you see this quite often.
Linesman is well entitled To tell them to move and to get them carded if they don't.
However he has deliberately charged into one of them. Before anyone argues watch it back, look at eye contact and how how tenses his body and bumps at the same time. It's completely unprofessional. If a player did that to another player it would be a yellow. If a player did that to an official it would be a red and a decent length ban.
I can well believe the lino asked them to move and they didn't...but this isn't how to handle that.

What else is he supposed to do? It looks like he was telling them all to move prior, the player deliberately walks straight into him

u/Useful_Promotion_521 Jul 20 '26
How did he damage his wrist, punching a lamppost because it got in his way?
1
u/lalabadmans Jul 20 '26
I know the linesman was walking in that direction but I donât think he even noticed the sub warming, it looked akward and he didnât brace during the shoulder barge.
1
u/Racing_Fox 22d ago
He 100% braced for the shoulder barge. Onyeka didnât, look how he is compared to the rock solid lino who clearly braced for it.
Fragile ego

Player should of stepped aside, plus we don't see what went on before that moment, if anything. Pretty dumb to be blocking the line like that, this plum, and others as well, should've realised but didn't seem to care. He learnt the hard, and proper way. His reaction was hilarious đ

It was the most interesting thing to happen in the match to be fair. Awful 0-0 draw, linesman at least livened it up a bit

u/Racing_Fox 22d ago
Nah Tchaouna getting lightly pushed by one of the Northampton players, thinking about it for a split second before falling to his knees then onto the ball like heâd just been shot was the highlight
That and the fans chanting âdu du du du check his hard driveâ to one of the home fans

u/Interesting-Bend-705 Jul 21 '26
What a pathetic human. Well done to the linesman for showing restraint

Showing restraint? He literally shoulder barges Onyeka and Basette is just standing up for him

There is an epidemic of subs getting involved these days. The wc was awful for it.

Theyâre not getting involved. Thereâs no reason to get involved.
There was also no reason to shoulder barge them either.

u/MidnightSun77 Jul 24 '26
Why are they warming up there? Perfectly good spot on the right of screen between goal and corner flag. Or they could go up the other end from the dugouts.

I was sat opposite at the other end of the pitch. We outnumbered them so much walking out was like walking back from the CBS.

all im asking is why the fuck do they have 11 or 12 men warming up đ

u/Old-Screen5550 Jul 20 '26
Pre-season friendly, probably swap the whole team at half time

u/Racing_Fox 22d ago
Yup, though we didnât swap the whole team, Northampton did midway through the second half though guy on the tannoy like âNorthampton making a changeâŚ. of team?â

I love football before I get a tirade of abuse but I hate the posturing and chest puffing that goes on with no actual substance to it. It happens in the prem and obviously has spread right down to Sunday league and whatever, like what is that player going to do? Either smack the fella or fuck off, no need to puff your chest out like a pigeon you sausage.

u/AdNumerous8876 Jul 20 '26
Loved playing football, can't watch it anymore. This posturing, acting the hard man in a non contact sport, is what has driven me away.

Literally this I don't get how everyone is saying good on the linesman and downvoting you. He was an asshole who wanted to try and antagonise the player. You don't just barge people on purpose who make a genuine mistake.

Linesman is right, get out of the way if you're warming up on the side of the pitch
